mehrere Informationen

The de Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon smells seductively of sweet fruit cake, dark berries and spicy hints of cigar box. Only grapes of optimal ripeness were selected, carefully processed, destemmed and fermented under temperature control. This is how the complex aromas are created in this wine, which on the astonishingly soft palate for such a young Cabernet Sauvignon are reminiscent of juicy dark berries, again the fruit cake paired with spice notes. Its present tannins and intense fruit give it an enormous ageing potential until 2028. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were completely destemmed by hand and crushed directly in open 2 tonne tanks (also by hand). Then the juice was spontaneously fermented at 30°C with natural yeast cultures and with 2 to 3 punch downs of the mash a day. The wine was then passed directly through the basket press into the barrels, 35% of which were new French oak. The wine was allowed to mature for 22 months and was then bottled by hand without filtration.
